The Science of Second Chances: A Revolution in Criminal Justice
Description
Drawing on rigorous economic research and real-world evidence, this book examines how criminal justice systems can reduce crime while creating meaningful pathways to rehabilitation and reintegration.

Clear, analytical, and grounded in data, the book challenges assumptions about punishment and public safety while offering a hopeful, evidence-based vision for giving people a genuine second chance.
